Customer Reviews of Hand Held Pill Crusher
Customer Review: Pretty good, but leaves some chunks
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the sturdy, thick metal construction of this unit, but it doesn't do a good job crushing pills in the sense of crushing them into a powder. It crushes them into chunks of varying sizes, from about the size of a lentil down to powder size, so you get a sort of mix of powder and small bits of gravel.
It's still much better than not crushing them at all, because of course the chunks are much smaller than the original tablet and therefore easier to swallow. If you're concerned about absorption, small chunks should dissolve much more rapidly than a whole pill.
On the plus side, it operates with great ease. I barely had to squeeze at all to crush my hard calcium tabs that have broken several plastic pill crushers or grinders (sometimes after one single use.) Also, the way it opens allows you to insert the largest of pills easily.
PROs:
++Very sturdy construction, should last a lifetime
++Very easy to use
++Crushes very quickly
++Easy to clean (You shouldn't need to clean it if you place the pill into one of the little baggies provided, but if you don't use the bags, it still cleans off with just a quick wipe.)
++Accommodates large pills
++Coated with what appears to be enamel so that the pill never touches metal, which is good because metal can react with and neutralize certain medications
CONs:
--Does not crush hard pills evenly, leaves chunks instead of an even powder
BOTTOM LINE: Highly recommended if you don't need your pills crushed into a fine, consistent powder.
